I am all for giving all potential immigrants an IQ test and limiting the amount of low-IQ immigrants.

Just look at how many Social Problems have been worsened by mass immigration.

In America, we are having mass low-IQ immigration from latin countries. And, of course, we forced low-IQ "immigrants" to come as slaves from Africa centuries ago. These low IQ individuals are almost entirely responsible for high poverty, high crime rates, and other social problems like unwed Pregnancy and welfare dependancy (which wastes many resources). The wost part is that these low IQ blocks vote themselves more advantages and resources through solidarity...

If you're from Europe, you know the impact of low IQ Arab Immigrants who abuse their wifes and increase poverty.

Why should we not only let skilled Immigrants in, with Higher IQs?

Can I write the IQ test? I don't like Norweigans.

If you are implying that IQ tests are biased, then I hope you know that the "IQ tests are biased" line has been thouroughly discredited and there is now a scientific consensus against it...

"Government being instituted for the common benefit, protection, and security, of the whole community, and not for the private interest or emolument of any one man, family, or class of men; therefore, whenever the ends of government are perverted, and public liberty manifestly endangered, and all other means of redress are ineffectual, the people may, and of right ought to reform the old, or establish a new government. The doctrine of nonresistance against arbitrary power, and oppression, is absurd, slavish, and destructive of the good and happiness of mankind." ~ Article 10 of the NH Bill of Rights

IQ tests are measured relative to a population. Getting 100 on an IQ test means your level of knowledge/ability is equal to that of your cohort.

If a four year old has the brain of a eight year old, his/her IQ might be 140. If a twenty-four year old has the brain of a twenty-eight year old, his/her IQ will probably be around 100-110.

What exactly do you hope to gain from giving all immigrants an IQ test? Making sure we only let in people who are smarter than the average American at whatever age that person is?

And what does an IQ test have to do with your ability to function in low-skill labor jobs? A genius at physics won't be much use if the only job available is fixing cars.

I wonder what would happen if we started that screening process in the 1800s...

IQ sort of has no relevance to immigration. A Russian lawyer may be super smart but what good is being well versed in Russian law going to do in North America? Plus countries like Canada do not want professionals from other countries; what they want is skilled workers who are willing to do the jobs nobody here wants.

My grandfather has a Genius IQ and that seems to mean something to you. Hence the quote.

He also belonged to many High IQ groups, and has taken a variety of IQ tests.

Here is another quote by my grandfather;

"I doubt that more than a small fraction of the members of high-IQ groups are "geniuses". A correspondent who has belonged to many such groups for many years says, "getting high marks on IQ tests is a measure of one's ability to get high marks on IQ tests." I am particularly unimpressed by those who think that purportedly being in the 99.999th percentile makes them vastly more intelligent than others in the 99.99th, 99.9th or the 99th. The ISPE says I scored in the 99.98th on their W87 test; I could care less. I have taken many IQ tests over the years; none were true measures of intellectual ability. The simple fact is that I have known all my life that I am "smarter" than most other people. I have had the pleasure of working with a few who were my peers. I have yet to meet anyone I honestly consider my intellectual superior, although I have known many with specific enviable talents. "

Immigration to the United States should be free for all. It has been for centuries and there is no reason to stop. Jimtimmy assumes that Europeans have higher IQs than Africans and South Americans which is ridiculous. There is no cause-correlation shown.

A couple of things...

1.) Immigration was free before the Welfare State. Free Immigration and the Welfare State are Mutually Exclusive (unless you want major adverse selection and brain drain)

2.) Even then, Free Immigration was not a great policy. Immigrants came to America poor, with radical ideas. They increased poverty and crime. Obviously, this was blamed on the greedy "capitalists". When it was actually the result of low-skilled Immigration.

3.) Europeans DO have higher IQs than Latinos and Africans... This is a fact, not an opinion. African Americans have an average IQ of 85, Latin Americans have an average IQ of 89, White Americans have an average IQ of 100...
